Even though I have read too many teenage girl books to count, both when I was one, and over the last few years when I've tried to convince myself I still am one really, this book seemed to be something new, and not a rehashed version of another story. Yes, there were some similarities to other books, in particular to [[Good Girls]] when some photo taking got out of hand, but they end there, and the two books, though equally enjoyable, go off in totally different directions.
Definitely recommended, and though this one gives the gist of what happened in the prequel, I do now want to read that too. [[Good Girls]] and [[Planet Janet]] are two other fab books for teens that The Bookbag would recommend. You might also appreciate [[Watch Us Rise by Renee Watson and Ellen Hagan]] if you're looking for a more demanding read.
